What a great example of seeing beyond the obvious with the shadow of the dress. Shades of Man Ray.
Excellent design and great use of reflection. Great concept and well executed.,
This is a very artistic image in its pure simplicity of design and it creates interesting positive and negative space. The framing of the reflection of the dress emphasizes the most populated piece of the image and the wedding white frames the dress. The little figure in red adds a subtle addition to the mostly black and white monotone.

Very nice and elegant, dancing out over the lights of the city.
The reflection really sets the ambiance of this image. Well done...,
This couple is beautifully side lit and the groom’s expression is wonderful as they dance in a great cityscape of magnificent light and color. A terrific memorable moment for them captured here.

Strong composition and another really good concept. Love the paintings which look like they are watching what is in the mirror.,

This photograph represents many different scenes within the scene. Three vignettes are captured as well as the three photographers with strong graphic framework that gives you a sense of place. I especially like the framing on the brides dress in the center. Black and white gives a documentary feel to the image. ,

Photographer captures simplicity in this pensive moment of the groom buttoning his shirt. Love the texture of the curtain on the wall in the shadow. I wish the mirror had not been cropped. ,

The photograph seems to allude to the transformation to beauty, I won't comment on the saddle.

18th Place: Julien Clavier from Landes, FrancePhotographer's Comment
When i followed the groom in the brides grand parents house, the fisrt thing which stroke me was the atmospher. It was this old typical basque country house with one meter thick wall and small windows. The room where the scene took place had a great light. I ve noticed this grand parents frame and thought that in this prior storm moment, when the groom is getting ready in a house that saw his future wife growing, the juxtaposition would reveal this moment secret. The glance of the oldies protect and survey the newcomer.
